This new horrific bomb by Indonesian Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre, Killers, Headshot) doesn't conceal its affinities with Evil Dead, Sam Raimi's masterpiece, of which it is an enraged uncompromised rereading, enhanced by wonderful acting by Chelsea Islan (Headshot).

Indonesia’s Timo Tjahjanto first came to international attention in 2007 with the short film Dara, a blood drenched horror outing he co-directed as one half of directing duo The Mo Brothers. That first short would later be expanded to feature form – and drenched in even more blood – with the Mo’s debut feature Macabre, firmly cementing Tjahjanto as one of the brightest rising stars in international horror. Tjahjanto has been working more in action in recent years with films such as Headshot and The Night Comes For Us, but he returns to his roots here with May The Devil Take You – a deliciously playful exercise in fright and a welcome return to the ‘young people trapped in a house with very, very bad things’ motif where he began.
